This is my fault for phrasing the question poorly. I was never owned a bike without a kickstand...then see other people riding and they have none. So that begged the question what are you holding you prized possession up with. You are damn sure not laying it down in the garage.
No you don’t lay it down in the garage. You hang it from a hook.

If you don’t want to hang them, you can buy (or make) a wheel holder but hanging them has a smaller foot print. I have 11 bikes hanging on that wall and can still park a car in there.
